Steve Vai style solo techniques, by Kristofer Dahl.
via KristoferDahl:
Few modern rock guitarsist have had such a major impact on the guitar community as Steve Vai. Mr Vai’s musical ability comprises of strong, unpredictable compositions – as well as a technical driven guitar style with innovative techniques and melodies.
In this lesson lesson we will approach Steve’s pattented tones and techniques by analysing “Vai slides”, whammy-bar tricks, lydian mode and plain shred! The backing tracks should allow you to start practicing these techniques slowly – and gradually work your way to the top! As always, if this feels way to difficult for you – just focus on nailing one single lick.
